Python 国际化 i18n

gettext

gettext 是一套 GNU下的国际化工具。主要有工具：

• xgettext: 从源码中抽取字符串，生成po文件(portable object)
• msgfmt: 将po文件编译成mo文件(machine object)
• gettext: 进行翻译

如果找不到gettext命令，或者找不到msgfmt命令。请重新安装一遍gettext套件。 
ubuntu系统:

安装gettext

sudo apt-get install gettext

 

创建目录

mkdir -p locale/zh_CN/LC_MESSAGES

在刚才目录下创建 .po 文件

vim hello.po

hello.po 内容 

msgid ""

msgstr ""

"Project-Id-Version: PACKAGE VERSION\n"

"POT-Creation-Date: 2007-01-18 09:55+China Standard Time\n"

"PO-Revision-Date: YEAR-MO-DA HO:MI+ZONE\n"

"Last-Translator: FULL NAME <EMAIL@ADDRESS>\n"

"Language-Team: LANGUAGE <LL@li.org>\n"

"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"

"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"

"Content-Transfer-Encoding: utf8\n"

"Generated-By: pygettext.py 1.5\n"

msgid "hello world"

msgstr "你好世界"

 

msgid "Good job, %s! Your math scores is %d !"

msgstr "干得漂亮 %s , 你的数学成绩是 %d !"

Po->mo(PO人能看懂的，MO机器能看懂的)

msgfmt locale/zh_CN/LC_MESSAGES/hello.po -o locale/zh_CN/LC_MESSAGES/hello.mo

 

Python中测试

# 只要有mo文件，就能翻译 # 路径如locale/zh_CN/LC_MESSAGES/hello.mo

# 在跟locale目录同一级别的地方运行ipython

>> import gettext

>> zh = gettext.translation("hello", "locale", languages=["zh_CN"])

>> zh.install()

>> _('hello world')

'你好世界'

 

 

*有参数的情况，保留参数占位符是比较明智的选择

  test.py 文件 

import gettext

myName = 'Kevin'

myscores = 111


zh = gettext.translation("hello", "locale", languages=["zh_CN"])

zh.install()


print(_('Good job, %s! Your math scores is %d !') % (myName, myscores))


#当你想用回原有英语的时候 使用lambda 处理"_"即可
_ = lambda s: s 


print(_('Good job, %s! Your math scores is %d !') % (myName, myscores))

 

Output

python3.6 test.py 

干得漂亮 Kevin , 你的数学成绩是 111 !

Good job, Kevin! Your math scores is 111 !
